    The biggest hashtag of 2020 might not be a hashtag at all


    In 2018, it was #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, and #NoBanNoWall. In 2019, it was the #ClimateStrike. In 2020, Twitter hashtags might not cut it, says Northeastern assistant professor Moya Bailey. “There’s more of a cultural shift that I think young people understand needs to happen, and that’s not something that’s easily conveyed in a hashtag or on a social platform,” she says.

    With the return of Orange is the New Black today, as well as the Boston Pride Parade on Saturday, we checked in with assistant professor Moya Bailey—whose research includes women’s, gender, and sexuality studies—on the state of LGBTQ representation in the media. Her take? “I would say we’re not there yet, but we’re getting closer. It’s a process.”
